He was lucky it wasn't Truck-san or else he'd be in the fantasy land by now, but then again, I don't know which is worse, getting hit by Truck-san or being with Chiyo...

if he met Chiyo in the fantasy world it would have sucked ... but with the MCness of shun he would have been a great hero easily, and the I can't forget about my past love would have make him a little more deep mc in an isekai xDD

I've gotta admit, chapter 102 got me thinking that Chiyo really is a very good newlywed candidate. She's adorably cute, she's smart and independent, and she can cook up a storm. As the old saying goes, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach," and she definitely has that base covered.

And let's not forget that Chiyo's only 144cm tall (4'9"), the average height of an 11 year old Japanese girl. Coupled with her obvious physical assets, she would certainly be attractive to a certain category of men (and women, let's not forget Nagatsuki who has been known to drool while thinking of Chiyo). Nonetheless, even though he is now attracted to her physically, Igarashi is first and foremost in love with Chiyo and has been long before she blossomed into the adorable woman she now is.

In chapter 100 Chiyo was thinking of him, so it's only natural that in chapter 101...

Spoiler

Ookuma was thinking of her.

It's now been 87 chapters since Ookuma was introduced as in impediment to Igarashi's happiness, and I think it's way past time that Coco should have definitively put to rest any possibility that Ookuma would actually interfere in Chiyo and Igarashi's relationship.

Perhaps a good solution would be for Coco to have Ookuma continue that confession scene from chapter 71 that Igarashi interrupted so that Chiyo could categorically reject Ookuma (which she did not do then back at the festival), and to have Igarashi witness the scene.

But to have Ookuma popping up every few chapters, being jealous of Igarashi and lamenting that he never confessed to Chiyo, is just getting too irritating.

Or, Coco could transfer Ookuma's ass to some lowly bowling alley at the very tip of Hokkaido, never to be seen or heard from again...

Otherwise, it was pretty nice (and unusual) to have a chapter where I felt no need to rant and rave about Chiyo's behavior.

*reads chapter 100*
*sets kindle down*
*sticks head out of door*
Huh. No flying pigs, and yet... *checks thermostat* Ah, well, there you go! Joking aside, this was probably the best romantic chapter in a loooooong time, namely because of Chiyo's bright shining moment of self-awareness and even selfishness (as in, Igarashi is someone she wants to keep close and for herself). Of course, Igarashi had to be a dork, but that's fine, that's who he is, after all!
